The situation with Ba Wang was indeed quite unique.
Chen Fan pondered for a moment and said, "I think you have another option."
"Please elaborate," replied the secondary soul, maintaining a refined demeanor.
He was calm.
"I think you could go out and explore occasionally."
"No."
The moment he finished speaking, the secondary soul refused outright.
"Don't be so quick to refuse. Hear me out first."
"..."
"You know Ba Wang's personality. He's rough and lacks foresight."
Whoosh.
The primary soul huffed, its anger flaring instantly.
If it weren't Chen Fan speaking, anyone else would have been directly attacked.
"Nonsense, I'll kill you."
Chen Fan didn't give him a chance to rage, continuing his persuasion, "Although Ba Wang follows me now, we will eventually part ways. All good things must come to an end.
If Ba Wang has to go it alone in the future, do you think, given his personality, he won't suffer losses? Won't he face the threat of death?
You are the primary soul, yet you place all the pressure on a reckless youngster. If he dies in the future, you will be responsible."
These simple words rendered the weaker Ba Wang speechless.
Chen Fan's reasoning was indeed sound.
It was precisely because he wanted to escape that he had separated the current Ba Wang.
"... What are your thoughts?"
"I think you should go out and explore."
"..."
"Don't worry, Ba Wang won't mind."
Chen Fan decided for the impulsive Ba Wang himself, "You are essentially one entity. You wouldn't want Ba Wang to die due to some recklessness in the future, and if you remain as you are then, you probably wouldn't step in to offer advice.
Now that you have time, and you are familiar with the people around, you should be able to adapt.
Most importantly, your strength needs to increase rapidly.
Because of you, Ba Wang's strength has been stagnant. How much can you absorb here?
If you go out, I'm confident I can help you reach the Great Emperor realm in a short time.
You should be aware of how powerful the enemies I will face in the future are. If Ba Wang cannot improve his cultivation, to prevent him from being in danger, I can only advise him to leave. Think about it yourself."
Chen Fan fell silent.
He had said enough, and he believed the intelligent Ba Wang would figure it out.
The impulsive Ba Wang was initially unwilling, but upon hearing that he might be kicked out due to insufficient cultivation, he immediately agreed.
The big head nodded vigorously, "Um, from now on, you'll be called Ba Wang, and I'll be Xiao Wang. See... we're together, and I'm constantly taking the blame for you. I think you should go out and see the world."
Ba Wang: "???"
What the heck was Xiao Wang?
A thought suddenly flashed in Xiao Wang's mind, and as soon as it appeared, the weaker Ba Wang sensed it, his expression changing instantly.
"Don't..."
Swish.
Xiao Wang was gone.
"Ahem."
As soon as Xiao Wang's consciousness returned to the main body, he coughed vigorously, drawing everyone's attention.
"Everyone, listen to me."
Lo and behold, our Xiao Wang loudly declared in front of everyone, "From now on, I have two names. Everyone... when you see the furious, action-oriented me, that's Xiao Wang."
"If you see the gentle and somewhat timid me, that's Ba Wang. Do you all understand?"
"What?"
Chu Lao Mo was utterly bewildered.
"What what your dad what?"
Ba Wang retorted directly, glaring at Chu Lao Mo, "Dare to ruin my good deed, and I'll kill you."
With that, his consciousness returned.
"This..."
Chu Lao Mo was left bewildered in the wind.
Had this fellow been kicked by a donkey?
Swish.
He returned again.
Ba Wang perceived everything that had happened outside.
He chuckled bitterly, "Forget it, let's both be called Ba Wang. Xiao Wang was just a joke. We are one entity after all."
"So be it. Since I'm the one forcefully placing this burden on you, I shouldn't evade it."
"Heh heh."
Ba Wang smiled with satisfaction, "Then you take over the body now?"
"Wait a moment."
The weaker Ba Wang spoke, "I need to slowly adapt to this body with my soul power. After all, my soul power is only at the Heavenly Emperor realm."
"Alright, adapt quickly."
"Let's go."
Chen Fan stood up and clasped his fists, "Farewell."
The weaker Ba Wang nodded.
...
Buzz.
The two departed.
Chen Fan and Ba Wang opened their eyes simultaneously.
"Whoosh."
Ba Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
The biggest problem was solved, and he felt completely relaxed.
Taking a deep breath, he could no longer suppress his inner excitement and burst into laughter.
"You are..."
Chu Lao Mo cautiously approached, "Xiao Wang?"
Bang.
Chu Lao Mo was sent flying by a punch from Ba Wang.
The punch was too sudden, and Chu Lao Mo was completely unprepared. It was impulsive, without any warning.
"You're Xiao Wang."
Ba Wang was furious, "Your whole family is Xiao Wang."
"Damn it."
Chu Lao Mo was also angered and quickly flew back, "Didn't you just say it?"
"What did I say?"
"You said to call you Xiao Wang..."
"I didn't say that."
"You dare deny it? Today, I'll beat you into submission!" Chu Lao Mo was enraged.
Boom.
Demonic energy surged, transforming into a sky-covering demonic hand that grabbed Ba Wang's body and violently slammed him into the chaos.
"Come on, let's fight!" Ba Wang refused to back down.
Bang bang bang.
The two began fighting in the chaos.
"These two guys..." Chen Fan shook his head.
Actually, Ba Wang and Chu Lao Mo had a very good relationship.
Ba Wang's laughter upon awakening was filled with joy, and Chu Lao Mo knew the problem with the body had been resolved upon hearing it.
He wouldn't offer words of congratulations, nor did Ba Wang wish to hear them.
In their eyes, the best way to communicate was a good, hearty fight.
Of course, most of the time, Chu Lao Mo had the upper hand.
His cultivation at the eighth rank was not to be trifled with.
Kuandi, standing nearby, couldn't bear to watch, "Xiao Wang, I'll help you!"
"Get lost."
Ba Wang cursed.
"Hahaha..."
Laughter echoed through heaven and earth.
Qi Sha watched the three bickering with envy.
He also liked that feeling but was too embarrassed to intervene.
After all, he had surrendered later.
"Qi Sha."
Chen Fan noticed Qi Sha's envy and smiled, "Is your body alright?"
"Uh... it's fine."
Qi Sha shook his head, "My kidneys are good, I'm not weak."
"Damn it, you're all bullying me too much."
Boom.
Ba Wang disengaged from the battle and charged towards Qi Sha.
With a single punch, Qi Sha was sent flying.
Qi Sha: "???"
Seeing Ba Wang charging aggressively, Qi Sha immediately fought back.
The four traded blows, fighting with gusto.
Lei Jiang was getting old and didn't want to participate.
As for Xie Jun... forget it, it would be too easy to wipe them out.
"Still need some rest," Chen Fan said.
The bickering of the four did not disturb him.
